Minister for Health Simon Harris TD today (Sunday) welcomed the appointment of Mr Keith Synnott as National Clinical Lead for Trauma Services
The appointment of Mr Synnott is one of the immediate actions prioritised in ‘A Trauma System for Ireland’ and will provide an essential foundation for the implementation of that system. As recommended in the Report, Mr Synnott will lead the National Office for Trauma Services in the HSE and will be responsible for managing the implementation and oversight of the trauma system. The implementation will support a reduction in the incidence and the burden of trauma, significantly improve the survival rate of major trauma patients and ensure every patient receives the best possible standard of care in the most appropriate facility.
